Author of Ultralight Boatbuilding, Thomas J. Hill presents elegant small boat plans for the home builder using the glued plywood lapstrake construction method for canoes, skiffs, and dories.

ABOUT THE BOATS

I have taught boatbuilding to beginners and professionals for 30 years. I've put much of that experience into a book and video describing my building methods. Combined with my plans, they have helped thousands of home builders enjoy the rewards of building a boat.
